We review the Rolls-Royce Dawn from price to economy and all its features

YOUR ship has come in.

You have just won the Lotto and you've promised yourself:

1) A dream holiday.

2) A dream car.

3) A divorce.

Hmmm. That last one sounds a bit too expensive so let's concentrate on the first two.

I must stress at this point that Rolls-Royce absolutely pestered me to do this.

"Come and be a customer for a day," it said. "Come and live the Rolls-Royce lifestyle."

So here I am, top down in baking 30C heat, exploring the magnificent ocean roads and winelands of Cape Town in the £250,000 Dawn convertible.

And I could get rather used to it.

Of course, Rolls-Royce defines luxury. It is the standard by which all other luxury is measured. So I'm not going to tell you Dawn is c**p because it clearly is not.

It is drop-dead drop-head gorgeous, indulgent, young, cool — and beautiful to drive.

Before today, I would have spent my Lotto winnings on a Wraith. But not now. I'd have one of these.

It's got the same show-stopping coach doors but you can feel the breeze, you can see more — and everyone can see you.

So what's it like to smoke about in a Roller?

Truly special and as calm and relaxing as a spa. Dawn has four full-size seats lavished in butter-soft leather, sumptuous carpets, the finest wood and a fabric silk-lined roof that opens and closes in complete silence.

The twin-turbo 6.6-litre V12 is so quiet you have to give it a blip to tell it is running.

And it is so delicate through the gears you get the sensation of gliding along.

It's not short on tech either. The driver is spoiled with head-up display, night vision, voice control and satellite-aided transmission that reads the road ahead to select the right gear.

But just like a good butler, all the tech is hidden away in the background waiting to be called upon.

Rolls-Royce is clearly chasing the "younger, sexier" filthy rich rather than old money.

The edgier, more menacing Wraith Black Edition and Ghost Black Edition were unveiled in Geneva earlier this month and already Dawn has a waiting list as long as your arm. Next up, we'll see an SUV in 2018.

VERDICT: Jackpot. The coolest Roller yet.
